Looking for a cute and easy handmade Valentine treat? In todayโs tutorial, Iโm sharing how to make a Valentine Lip Balm Book using cardstock and decorative Valentine paper. This fun little โbookโ includes simple cuts that create a snug spot for a lip balm to slide right inside, plus a sweet twine tie closure to finish it off.
This project is perfect for Valentine gifts for family, co-workers, teachers, and friends, and it comes together quickly with basic supplies.
Iโll walk you through the full process step by step, share all the measurements, and include a full supply list with affiliate links below so you can easily recreate it.๐

![Junk Journal Elements Tutorial | Top-Fill, Side Pockets & Curved Pocket Ideas
In this tutorial, Iโm sharing several fun junk journal elements that Iโve added to my Country Cottage Junk Journal! ๐ฟ Youโll see how I create and add a top-fill pocket, side-fill pocket, and a curved pocket from the beautiful printables by My Porch Prints on Etsy. I also add a tabbed journaling card and fill the pockets with an envelope and ephemera pieces from the kit. These techniques are perfect for giving your junk journals more layers, storage, and personality.
